Outrageous lawsuit against Johnny Manziel is clearly a hoax, but worth reading anyway

A sexual harassment lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was accepted in a Florida federal court this month that is, at best, "1000000% fake and/or frivolous," his agent Erik Burhardt said. The allegations and the $25 million sought by the plaintiff are so outrageous, there's no other conclusion to draw except it's a hoax.

And Manziel is an easy target. He's a constant part of ESPN's news cycle and a lightning rod for attention, a hard-living 21-year-old who is probably subjected to more of these accusations than we realize. Ridiculous claims against him are just a little easier to believe than the average athlete.

But not these. From the assault on Manziel's "manhood" to cheating on his college exams to wanting to be the plaintiff's "Long John Silvers," these are positively comical. They were the talk of social media this morning and prompted the response from Burkhardt. He called the lawsuit "insanity" in a brief interview with USA Today.

This joke "lawsuit" is obviously 1000000% fake and/ or frivolous. Embarrassing I even have say this after reading the nonsense.

Samantha Schacher is seeking $25 million in punitive damages and a restraining order against Manziel, saying she is "scared to death." Her central theme focuses on the same embarrassing allegation, which, again, looks like complete fabrication.

"Manziel told me if I don't want him because his penis is small, when he gets drafted by the NFL he will get a penis enlargement and he'll be my Long John Silvers."

"Johnny Manziel told me Texas A&M provides him with lavish gifts circumventing NCAA rules, where he said if I will be his girlfriend, he will buy me Victoria Secret Lingerie and Adam & Eve sex toys with secret money Kevin Sumlin provides him."

"I asked Manziel to stop calling me, but he won't stop. I have nightmares of Manziel; he needs sex therapy."

There's plenty more. Here's the full document filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida:
